EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph print, titled "Virgil's Aeneid: Neptune Stilling the Waves" transports us to ancient Rome, immersing us in the rich world of mythology and literature. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is a part of a private collection. The image depicts a powerful scene from Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid. In vivid colors and intricate detail, we witness Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, using his divine powers to calm tumultuous waves. This illustration was specifically created for Alfred J Church's book "The Children's Aeneid" which aimed to retell Virgil's masterpiece in simple language for young readers. As we gaze upon this lithograph print, we are reminded of the enduring influence of ancient myths and legends on art and culture throughout history. The fusion of paganism with religion is evident here as well; Neptune stands as both a mythological figure and a deity worshipped by Romans. With its masterful composition and skillful use of color, this artwork captures not only the essence of Virgil's poetry but also evokes our imagination about life in ancient Rome. It serves as a testament to the power that literature holds over generations - transcending time and connecting us with our past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from the early 20th century, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today while honoring centuries-old traditions through their dedication to fine art preservation.
